loved the first clip, just what happens here, life goes on as i want it to, my dogs just watch until they are invited to do different, just two points , watch your back when splitting logs like that and baccy is expensive enough so let the dog guard the roll up when you are splitting,

liked it,

Betty was collected today!
I kinda miss that mutt!...at least the property was secure for a couple of weeks :lol: , and it did create a new understanding with the postman! ;)

The owner has been bitten, (well had a nip! :think: ), They came to collect her with the two teenage daughters!!
One of them 'had been bitten'!!, and before Betty coming here, the daughters had a nightmare of a life with this pup growing up, and getting bigger, standing on hind legs , and mounting the girls.
Excitement and anxiety, were fuelled with adolescance on both sides!?

This I believe ,is the first day of the rest of its life.
:think: ...This dog was taken as a pup at 6 weeks old!!!!!....It missed out on the vital learning time the litter can provide as well as the mother ,the pack, and the nurture of the breeder ;)
We have made arrangements for further training once Betty has established her new behaviour in her old envoirenment.
I wish her well!

I noticed the nervousness of the girl on the left hand side at about 3.48 seconds. Couldn't quite catch the expression of the girl on the right at 49-55 seconds, could just see her lower lip which seemed to go "poof' or "phew".

Just received an e-mail from Bett'ys owners.
"Thank you Robert . Iclasses start 1st week in march so it is up to me till then to keep up all the hard work you have done. Betty was very good in the car on the way home. She is just back in from her walk she was very good and I am getting better with the two leads. She never jumped on anyone she did growl but took correction very well. Thank you once again

Karen xx

Now there is an early result!?...hope she goes on with your classes ;)

For some reason Radar retrieving 1 , where the intro, showing what he cant do ?, and the faults , with my commentary has not uploaded?
maybe thats a good thing? :lol:
We had set up a retrieving lane for him to go nowhere ?
He is only under a year!, and been a pet/with working intentions :think: :brickwall: :doh: ...So toys and cuddles are the world of fun,especially when you 'try to take them away? :think: ..just after you have asked him to get them :brickwall:
Anyhow, He will be out this weekend , on live game (after the shooting season, there is plenty of game around), there he can learn to flush the game!...as it is ''pointless''>>>>to catch it?...It flys away.

He's a nice pup. He reminds me of Rosie in his nature but he is a bit calmer during retrieves ! Rosie would have ran in for most of those dummies unless I just about sat on her head .

I agree Wullie, but bthis owner wants this dog to do the lot!,,,more Lab than HPR'?, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT ;)
that said, I am determined to give the dog the 'Lot'!...shame about the first vid!...I seem to have lost it :doh: ,which shows Him probably more like Rosie?, but more importantly, how I correct it! (with this dog , my way!) :lol:

Well he is only 11 month old, and been here just over 3 weeks, but (imo) progressing as he should.
